Hello,

I got a Asus X501U for my Birthday and has 2 Gbs of Ram and it says online that i can upgread to 4 Gbs. But the issue is.. there isnt a Ram Port on the bottom of the laptop to insert more RAM. Any one got any ideas on what i can do?

Thanks

I think when the it says up to 4GB, it means the Asus X501U you can get either comes with either 2GB or 4GB of ram by default, rather than adding more ram to your existing 2GB of ram...

On the product description, it says "DDR3 1333/1066 MHz SDRAM, up to 4 G ", but not "2x DDR3 1333/1066 MHz SDRAM, up to 4 G "...so I'm guessing it only uses 1 stick or ram?

Anyway, 2GB of ram should be sufficient for general usage and media playback, which is what this laptop is purposed for I would think...
